Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse University officials dispute many of the conclusions and penalties the NCAA reached in its investigation into SU's athletic program.

In a seven-page response SU provided to Syracuse.com, the university said it strongly disagrees with the NCAA's finding basketball coach Jim Boeheim failed to promote and monitor compliance with the rules over a 10-year period.

The SU response is attached below.

"Coach Boeheim has built a lengthy and accomplished career as head coach of the Syracuse men's basketball team, with a strong record of overall compliance during the course of five decades," the SU response said.

The NCAA spent eight years examining hundreds of thousands of records dating back as far as 2001, SU said. But there was no evidence Boeheim was aware of any NCAA violations, the response said.
